    Welp. That was at least exciting. If the Bucks can keep Giannis, they are going to be GOOD for the next decade.

    Not worried at all it's only been 3 games and the Bucks length is bothersome to every team..with that said, however, I truly feel like Nurkic lost too much weight. He has been bodied in all three games this year by guys he should physically dominate. Key word, physically. Obviously he's not an explosive athlete. But he hasn't rebounded or finished around the rim well at all.

    I hate to say it but he kind of looks, well, soft.

    People expect too much. It's a societal thing. People will get it... hopefully. I think I just set up an unrealistic expectation, too. :MARIS61:

    This. We choked this away, and we missed about 7 total FTs.

    Can't win a game when you don't score in the final minute and you can't win a game this close when you miss FTs.

    The refs didn't cost us this game. We did it to ourselves.

    Stotts end-game plays are pathetic. It's the same old shit all the time: give it to Dame and hope he pulls something off. We need something else.

    Bullshit game. The refs decided this one, they let them grab CJ around the waist and steal the ball. They call a defensive foul every time the Greek Fag charges into someone, he bodied Nurk on the last shot as well, which I'd be ok with the no call if they weren't call that bullshit on the other end.

    You can't score when the other team is allowed to tackle you.

    2 -1 on a 3 game road trip to start the season.

    2 games on a back to back after the NBA said they were getting rid of those.

    I'll take it!

    Nothing to be pissed at.

    Give Nurk some time to get into game shape. Back to backs are death on big men.

    Calling the refs out is fair game especially when they missed a huge call with Giannis grabbing CJ's side with the turnover with under 20's left. Also did you watch what Giannis got away with in the 4th?

    The NBA wants MIL to succeed this year, Euro Superstar n all. That's not to say we couldn't have overcame, CJ needs to give the ball up pronto to the hot hand there at the end.
